I've been having an interesting week -- first, with AMD, which has returned to profitability and stopped chasing Intel's butt to do some rather interesting different things, like merging x86 and ARM technologies. Then, with IBM, which also realized that chasing Intel wasn't doing it any good. It chose an even more unusual path, making its processors "open." Looking back at Apple's incredible success in mobile, it stepped out for the iPod, creating a very different offering, and then took a cookie cutter to the smartphone and tablet market.Why Is It So Hard to Think Different?
